The Chang family is on their way home from a cross-country road trip.
During the trip, the function D t   2,280  60t can be used to model
their distance, in miles, from home after t hours of driving.
Part A Find D 15 and interpret the meaning in the context of the
problem.
Part B If D t   1,200, find the value of t and interpret its meaning in
the context of the problem.

The function F v  represents the amount, in dollars, raised at a
fundraiser for a charity by v volunteers. Use function notation to write
a representation of each of the following.
Part A The amount, in dollars, raised by 12 volunteers.
Part B The amount, in dollars, raised by m volunteers is $2,500.
Part C The amount, in dollars, raised by v volunteers is at least
$3,000.
Part D 90 percent of the amount, in dollars, raised by 30 volunteers.

In New Jersey, the 2009 tuition cost at public universities for each
student who lives in state was $17,547. In-state students paid 70% of
the tuition amount, and the rest was paid by the state.
Part A Use function notation to express the total amount of tuition
paid by the state for all in-state students as a function of the
number of in-state students. Explain how any variables used
are defined in the context of the problem. Show your work.
Part B In 2009, there were 69,543 in-state students enrolled at public
universities in New Jersey. Use your function from Part A to
find the total amount of tuition paid, in dollars, by the state for
the 69,543 in-state students. Show your work.

9. The function f t   7.2t models the average distance, f t  , in kilometers
that Bob rides his bike over time, t, in hours.
The function g t   5.9t models the average distance, g t  , in
kilometers that Alice walks over time, t, in hours.
Part A What are the domains of the two functions?
Part B Graph the two functions on the coordinate plane below.
Part C Compare the rate of change of f t  to the rate of change
of g t  . What does this tell you about Alice’s and Bob’s speeds?
Part D Is there a time where Bob’s and Alice’s distances are the same?
Explain.
